Yes, if it is not cared for well it decays faster. Wood is a carbon compound. All carbon compounds (people and animals included) all decay when we die. I'm sure cutting down a tree counts as killing it, because it can no longer get nutrients to sustain it.

∙ 13y agoNormally it takes 3-5 months for wood to decay but you have to think of the variables like:
Is it exposed to weather or is it protected?
Has it been preserved or finished in some way?
How big is it dimensionally? Sawdust or wood chips will decay alot faster then a log will :)

Yes,Decaying Of Wood Is Chemical Change. Answered By Warfa
no
Cutting a piece of wood is a physical change because the chemical composition of the wood remains the same before and after cutting. The change is only in the physical appearance and shape of the wood.
Physical-it is still wood, just in small pieces

No, a decaying compost pile is not an example of a physical change. The process of composting results in a different physical appearance or state -- which is physical change -- but it is not reversible and necessitates a change in structure -- which is chemical change.
no
It is a physical change, because you're giving the wood a new shape.

Sanding wood is a physical change because it does not change the composition of the wood itself. Sanding simply removes material from the surface of the wood, altering its physical appearance without creating new substances.

Decaying of wood is a chemical change since it leads to the formation of a different substance. The process is irreversible.
A physical change because the chemical composition of the wood does not change.
is hammering wood togehter to build a playhouse a physical change or a cemical change
Its a physical change
You're not changing the substance when you chop wood. Therefore, it is a physical change.
